Festival get-togethers are where neighbours become friends and office teams become a bit more human. The invite doesn't need to be long — a festive card and a warm line or two. Here are messages for the year's biggest festivals, in English and Hindi.

What a festival invite needs

  • Which festival — and what kind of gathering: puja, lunch, card party, dance night.
  • Date, day and time — and an end time for evening parties.
  • Venue — with a Maps link for a society hall or a new place.
  • Anything to bring or wear — white for Holi, traditional for Garba, a Secret Santa gift for Christmas.
